Ugh, we're so done with New Year, New You. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Gemini's because you know you always like them. More of you dating with intention because you know what you want. And you know what? We love that for you. Someone else will too. Be more you this year and find them on Bumble.

Even if the questions are the same, our experiences can lead us to drastically different answers. I'm Minnie Driver, and I set out to explore this idea in my podcast. And now, Minnie Questions is returning for another season. We've asked an entirely new set of guests

our seven questions, including Jane Lynch, Delaney Rowe, and Cord Jefferson. Listen to mini questions on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Seven questions, limitless answers. Second date update. You know, sometimes in order to find the right person you have to kiss a few frogs first and that's explains why i'm banned from the amphibian exhibit at the aquarium but you took it very literally you have heard the phrase though sometimes you got to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince or your mr Well, one of our listeners says that happened to her recently. Now she needs our help.

So let's welcome to the show Carolyn. What's up, Carolyn? Hi. You've been sucking face with some reptiles, Carolyn? Amphibians, that's what they are, huh? Yeah, the reptile is a difference. Brooke's just kissing reptiles. Yeah.

Any small, slimy animal, come on over. I kissed 14 iguanas. Yeah. What happened? Why did you say that you were kissing frogs? So I had a friend pick me up, and she said she had a great guy for me. She thought we'd get along great. Did that work out for you?

No. I don't think it ever does i show up at the date first of all looks from not everything but wow oh i walk over and i'm like oh this is who my friend is to connect with maybe he's got this amazing person he's really funny amazing personality okay so you weren't initially attracted to him on first i was not but i'm trying to keep an open mind because my friend picked me up for a reason and then we start the date and i kid you not he did not say a word what you're silent yeah like i would ask questions it would be like one word answers was he he was quiet and he listened to you? God, what a jerk. He was not listening. The opposite.

He didn't talk at all? He didn't talk at all. He didn't ask me anything about myself. I'm like asking about him. He's giving me these one-word answers. It's so uncomfortable. I've never eaten so fast in my life. Were you like texting your friend under the table?

Like, what the hell? Well, that's rude. No, because I was too busy shoving food in my face because I wanted to get out of there. That's true. If I ever see a girl finish her food food in my face because I wanted to get out of there. That's true. If I ever see a girl finish her food fast now, I'm going to be very self-conscious. She immediately asked for it to go? That's not a good sign.

Okay. So wait, why are you on for a second date update with a guy you didn't like? So here's the thing. So I had that horrible date with my friend that my friend fixed me up with. And so I thought, I'm not going to let my friend or anyone else fix me up. I'm going to try this on my own because nothing can be worse than that date. Okay. You've taken dating into your own hands now.

Yeah. So then I went to online dating because at least then I can go by, I find this person attractive, at least in their pictures. Yeah. So there was this guy that we had been texting and he seemed really cool. His name was Scott. Scott? Yeah. We were having like a fun banter with the tech. Okay.

Hot Scott. Yeah, hot Scott. I like it, Jose. Yeah. What did you guys end up doing on a date? So we went and grabbed a bite to eat, and it was honestly, like, the universe was, like, we know you had that crappy date, and now we are giving you Scott. Like, it was magical.

Like, the conversation was flowing he was asking me questions i was asking him questions like i kept ordering more food because i didn't want the date to end yeah oh the opposite i mean because it was your third entree that turned him off or maybe it was because your last date before set the bar so low for you oh yeah that just an average to below average guy was good enough? I mean, that's just all dating in general. How low can we live though? You asked one question and you're like, oh my God.

I know. What a charmer. Marry me. That's sweet though. I mean, how did the date end for you guys? You know, he walked me to my car. We had a sweet kiss. He even had a kiss?

Yeah. So I was really hopeful. And now it's been over a week and I haven't heard anything. That seems weird. If it went as well as you said. I mean, looking back on the night, was there anything that was awkward or any moment that could have stood out as something that could have been a red flag? Okay, maybe. But to me, it's like a little red flag.

Okay, what? I had ordered the chicken lettuce wraps as an appetizer. And then we were there talking for so long. And then I ordered them again later, forgetting that i had ordered them before oh my god i know so he might i don't i mean that's the only thing i can think of i feel like he said anything and i tried to play it off like he didn't make fun of you in that moment i would have probably made fun of you like man you love these lettuce wraps yeah he was kind of like you know you just had those and i was like oh i'm like gosh, I totally did. But I'm having so much fun.

You forgot that? Like, how many things did you order in between then? Well, not a lot. I think the better question is how many drinks did you have between then? That counts as an ordering thing. You forgot. We'll just say a lot of time has passed. So, to me, it wasn't weird because it's not like. It's weird, but it's not a reason not to call somebody back.

Right, right. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe. The lettuce wraps would, like, be a no-go for you? You're like, ugh. Yeah. Too healthy for me.

Oh. Yeah. That's what I was thinking. It could be, like, a diet thing or... Yeah, like, why didn't you get a dessert or something, you know? Honestly, it was probably adrenaline of, like, oh my gosh, this guy's not a total dill weed. Oh. Maybe I was a little over-anxious.

Yeah, or maybe you're over-eager and that could be a turn off. But you might not think that. Well, he's not calling her back, so he's thinking something. Yeah, let's find out what he is thinking. I wish that we had the power to just tap into his mind, but we have to call him first. That'd be a cool segment.

We're working on that technology till then. Mind tap. We'll just do it the old-fashioned way with a second date update. Get it done right after this, okay? Okay. All right, hold on. Second date update. We're in the middle of your second date update with Carolyn, who, after being set up on a horrible date by her good friend,

was relieved to match online with a great guy named Scott. Hot Scott. Hot Scott. Hot Scott was good looking. He knew how to actually talk and ask questions. Phenomenal kisser. And now we're in the middle of your second date update with Carolyn, who after being set up on a terrible date by her good friend, was relieved to match online.

Why do you say that again? Oh, did I say the exact same thing twice in the same segment? Oh, I get it. Because Carolyn ordered the same appetizer twice without realizing it and thought maybe her memory could have come into question or maybe Scott would have thought that was weird. Or maybe her passion for lettuce wraps is just that strong. That's what you should have said to him, Carolyn.

Right? Yeah, that's so funny. I can't believe he hasn's what you should have said to him, Carolyn. Right? Yeah. That's so funny. I can't believe he hasn't called you back at all. I would just, do you feel like maybe it was too good to be true? No. I'm being optimistic. Okay.

I like that. You're holding on to hope. I can't tell you how many people have come on the show and been like, the date was too good. There's got to be a reason for this let's find out i'm going to call them right now okay okay great all right here we go hello hey is it scott uh it is who's calling good, Scott. I heard that you were good at listening and asking questions. Right off the bat there. We're proud of you, man.

Excuse me? Yeah, you tell them who we are. Yeah. Oh, right. We're Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Not as good as listening. No. We're a radio show. Okay. All right.

I'm sorry. I'm a little confused. We want to make you the star of this segment called Second Date Update. Congratulations. A second date update? Yeah. Have you heard of those before? No. And honestly, I don't really have time.

Okay. We'll make it really fast. We'll make it really fast. Okay. So you went out recently with one of our listeners named Carolyn. She told us she had a great time at dinner with you. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh. Okay. Cut me off there. That's a little bit rude. But you know what? I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt because of the time thing. Sorry.

This is just kind of super weird. She just really liked you, Scott. I mean, she just really liked you and you weren't calling her back. So she just wanted to know if she did something wrong. Okay. And she did tell us a little bit about your guys' night together, going to dinner and ordering a bunch of food and having a lot in common. Yeah. Pretty vague, I know, but it's kind of what we know.

We had a good time. You know, we do have a lot in common. Okay, that was her review of the night, too. Was the kiss at the end of the night lovely? Yeah. Yeah, we made out a lot in common okay that was her review of the night too was the kiss at the end of the night lovely yeah yeah we made out a little bit and um it felt really nice and things were going great that sounds good i mean usually when we do these though there is something that was a little bit off something wrong yep there was he's quick to answer on all this you mean like during the date there was something off? No, it's just kind

of embarrassing. It turned out that we had a little more in common than I would have liked to know. So we had a great time. We did have a great time. Okay. She's a wonderful girl. She was kind of naturally hilarious. She ordered the same wrap twice without realizing it. Oh yeah, she told us about that. She told us that. She let me have a bite. It was delicious. I totally get it. What's the part that weirded you out?

I got home and I was talking to my roommate about the date and how it went great. He's like, oh yeah, show me this girl. I bring up the profile and I show him. It's like his eyes just went wide as saucers and i was like no did he know her he was like dude he knew her

no no he didn't know her it was kind of weird i wish he had known her but he was like dude do you not see it like she's your doppelbanger and doppelganger is that a doppelganger that you bang yeah i was like what what is a doppelganger and he was like bro she looks exactly like you like you'd be banging yourself if you well i know couples like that though and it works for them i totally know couples that look all blonde couples look like yeah it says a blonde yeah you're telling me you're not attracted to yourself scott that's kind of what weirded me out at first was that it put me in this self-reflective mode which was a little scary but he was like no seriously like put your your picture right next to hers and i i put him side by side in like a pig stitch up and it was like a twilight zone episode oh my god i was

so freaked out but she's so nice i didn't know how to be like hey so you're my long lost twin so i can't date you i've heard that it's just like evolution like people want to be attracted to people who look like them simply because they want their babies to look like them you know like it's yeah that's why Brooke only dates in her own family. What she's attracted to. My husband does not look like me, but... Bro, if you think about it, she's also very big-headed because she told

us she thought you were hot. Oh, yeah. She thinks she's hot. Well, good for her. That's confidence. That's the thing. She's beautiful. Oh, so you are into it. So you would make a lovely woman then, Scott. I mean, I've been told that I have nice lashes. Okay.

I think you can still make this work if you can get over this hump. I don't know. It's one of those things. At first, I would have been like, no, you're wrong. It's fine. We're going to keep dating. But after seeing us side by side, I cannot unsee it. It's like a psychological trip, man.

Sure. You guys look alike. That's one trip, man. Sure, you guys look alike. That's one obstacle. I'm curious if you guys sound alike. And we can compare voices right now because she's on the other line wanting to talk to you. They're going to harmonize. Hi. Are you kidding me?

Oh, it's meant to be. Wait, who's talking? I can't tell. Scott, is this some type of joke? If this is a joke, I don't get it. It's not. I'm sorry. Look, if you don't believe me, like, seriously, take our pictures and put them right next to each other.

Send her the picture you took, bro. No, I'm sorry. Uh-uh. Here's the thing. I have friends that look alike. And you put in a picture and they look like but when you're actually in life they don't look alike because their personalities their animation the way they talk is so different and so i don't understand i know i know but we don't even know once like maybe give it another chance and see and then maybe if we can't get

past it but i think when we're with each other in person, you'll see that the way that we act is different. I mean, if you have good chemistry, is it because you're twins? No, come on. What are you really worried about, Scott? Like, what's the worst thing that could possibly happen if you go out with Carolyn? People are going to think that I'm making out with my sister. Like, we'll be in the park now. That might be a treat for some people, though.

Don't think of only the people that aren't going to like it. Think of people that will like it. Yeah, it depends on what area of the country you're in. Scott, all you have to do, listen, all you have to do is change your hair color. Yeah. I mean, honestly, people always think my husband looks like Jeffrey, and they don't look anything alike when they're in person. Sometimes their pictures look similar, but if one of them were to dye their hair blonde,

nobody would know any different. I think this is the first time we've ever of them were to dye their hair blonde, nobody would know it any different. I think this is the first time we've ever asked a listener to change their hair color on a date just so that they could get another chance. Why stop there? Let's do cosmetic surgery, too. You want to get a nose job? How about a chin lift? We're paying a lot more people to call in for that.

Yeah, that's true. Can we have a plastic surgeon gift card? I'm glad you guys are having fun. I guess, you know, maybe then I just think it's a shame to waste such good chemistry because you just don't meet people you connect with like that. And if you're willing to just let that go because of a perceived doppelbanger, then maybe you're not the person I thought you were. Come on, Scott. That's a challenge. I hear a challenge right there.

I am happy to continue our relationship, but on a family level. What? Never heard that before on the show. What does that mean? I would love to continue our relationship as a friend so that I can just

bring you home to meet my parents because it will blow their minds. Wow. He wants you to meet the parents on day two. That's going to be a hard pass, so I'm just going to say I guess I dodged a bullet and you're not the person I thought you were. Oh, Scott. Come on.

Imagine her walking in the door first and her parents are like, Scott, did you make a life decision and not tell us? Sounds like a sibling rivalry is happening. Oh, come on. Okay. You are making it worse. Both of you. Clearly, I'm not going to come out on top on this,

so I'm just going to just bow out. Yeah. I'm sorry, Carolyn. That sucks. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Maybe next time, don't call a radio station

to figure things out. Oh. Don't let your roommate dictate who you go out with based on a picture. Oh, wow. I think she actually wins that burden. Thank you. Fair enough. Thank you.

Is it too late to ask if you guys want to go out on a second date? We'll pay for it. Oh, that's right. We never ask. Is that too late? Oh, yeah. It's in the Olive Garden. You're there with your family.

Yeah. Oh, hey. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. You know, people always tell me this show isn't educational. People say you don't learn anything on it. What did we learn just now? Well, we just learned a new word today, doppelbanger. Oh, I do like that one.

Dude, I could already apply it to a couple couples that I know. It's a real thing. That actually happens where people hook up with someone because they look like the other gendered version of yourself. Or same gendered version of yourself. That too. I wonder what female Jose looks like and how much they talk. I don't. I don't need two of you.

But, you know, it's kind of funny that he didn't realize it until his buddy told him. He would never have noticed until somebody else pointed it out. But once you do, you can't get it out of your head. Yeah, and if you think about it, it actually is kind of good that his friend told him because it's better to find out that now

than later on down the road as she's walking down the aisle and you're up on the altar and you're thinking, wait a second, am I walking towards myself in a dress? And I look good in it. Wow.

I could still be a magical moment. Yeah. No? I feel like he missed out. Well, bottom line, it didn't work out, but it doesn't mean it can't work out for you. You can always email the show. We'll call that person who isn't calling you back. You can hear all of our Second Aid podcasts, too, up online, wherever you get your podcasts.
